Hi,
Coventry House International and OnTESOL started TEFL Workshops
It's a combined online and weekend TEFL course that will be offered starting this fall. You may want to join us and offer the weekend course in your city. Contact OnTESOL for more information

The Trinity course is 160 hours, 20 of which are a Practicum module. There is no difference between online and on-site for the theoretical components. It only depends on your preferred method of study. You also have the option of taking a 20-hour Practicum after the online program. There is, however...

A 100-hour TESOL certificate is good for Asia. If you are planning to teach at EPIK (South Korea), a 100-hour TESOL/TEFL certificate qualifies applicants for $300 extra per month. If you're looking for an online version of the Trinity CertTESOL, Ontesol's 250-hour TESOL program is more advanced than...

Oh, and I read the first post. As a non-native speaker, you cannot work at EPIK (South Korea). If you're in Italy, visit some schools and ask them what kind of qualification you need so you can see for yourself. They're not very strict in Italy, but they don't pay well either. Teaching in Europe suc...

Some schools have a good reputation, some don't, but thousands of people take online courses every year and find jobs. You can find a job without a certificate, but some preparation is necessary and many people without certification end up taking online courses to learn more about teaching. If you a...

I thought I read somewhere before that you worked as a DELTA tutor, so I assumed you had been connected to Cambridge in some form of bread-winning activity, as well as others have said to be involved with the organization, helping on the development of the TKT course among other things. I wouldn’t a...

I don’t understand why CELTA courses are being promoted so much by TEFL.net moderators. CELTA is good, but not worth $2,400. I know the cost structure for a TEFL course and $1,600-$1,800 is enough to pay tutors, rent, CELTA fees (Trinity in my case), and still earn good profits. The rest is being pa...

6,200rmb ($900) is ok. 8,000-10,000rmb (approx $1,200) is good and you can get one of these jobs without any teaching experience. For a 15,000rmb ($2,200) job you would need 2 years of teaching experience.

Hello,
It's ok for a starting salary in China. I would certainly run away from those 4,000rmb jobs. Do you get free accommodation, return airfare, and other perks and benefits? Many schools offer these.

Hello, It depends on the course provider. The course should not be easy and you should practice lesson planning, which can be overwhelming to those who are looking for a quick and easy certificate. Also, instead of a weekend course, you need to take a practicum module where you observe a real class ...

It depends on the course provider. The most basic courses are online with no practicum. A 100-hour course costs around $300 and you can complete everything in three weeks if you study full-time. Trinity CertTESOL, CELTA, TESL Canada, SITTESOL are intensive courses and there are also local 4-week cou...

TESOL/TEFL courses prepare trainees to create professional lesson plans for any level. Some people take TEYL courses to practice lesson planning for children, but you need a good TESOL/TEFL certificate for your own training and also as a credential for getting a good job.

You probably don't need a qualification for teaching one-to-one but as you clearly stated, a native speaker is not qualified to teach English just because they know the language. You have to know how to teach the language. You don't necessarily need a TEYL or Business TESOL, these are short speciali...

There isn’t a single “international” accrediting organization, but several ones with different standards. Even CELTA and Trinity are their own private organization with their own standard. ACTDEC only accredits online/distance courses, a segment of the TESOL industry where there are many horrible sc...

For any job in Europe, you need to reside in the country of choice and apply in person, unless you find a job ad in one of the TESOL/TEFL related websites and you can send your resume by e-mail. Never give money to an agency or school for job placement assistance or for a work permit.

toefl is the test that non-native speakers take to obtain an English proficiency score.
You need to take a TESOL or TEFL course if you want to teach English. There is plenty of discussion here about different courses and accrediting organizations.

Your biggest challenge would be to obtain a work permit without a EU passport. Some options available for US citizens are the Czech Republic and Germany. You may be able to find a job with just your B.ed so look around.

As a course provider, I don't want to engage in a discussion about which schools offer better courses. Do avoid paying $1,800 for the Thailand internship (I think it also includes a 120-hour course but you are still paying around $1,000 for their job placement service) for two reasons: - It's fairly...

For most entry level jobs in Eastern Europe almost any certificate is fine. Most European schools, including many Eastern European ones, have higher requirements than Asian schools as they require a Trinity, CELTA, or equivalent certificate. You will have higher chances of obtaining a job with a pr...
